The King’s Speech: Regal Wardrobe Oops

Colin Firth’s portrayal of King George VI in “The King’s Speech” wowed audiences, but one outfit caused a bit of head-scratching. King George VI sports a kilt during a key scene in his vehicle, but it’s not the expected Scottish Balmoral design. Instead, it’s an Irish kilt, a surprising choice for an English king.

This slip-up might have gone unnoticed by many, but keen-eyed viewers spotted the error. While the mix-up doesn’t detract from Colin’s stellar performance, it adds a quirky tidbit to the film’s behind-the-scenes trivia. Next time you watch, keep an eye out for this regal wardrobe mishap.
